Hoven Droven
Turbo (Home Records, Sweden)
The fifth release (2004) by the band that most epitomizes Swedish roots-rock. Agressive, witty, alternately ragged and slick, these musicians are some of Sweden's best young players in any genre.

About the musicians:
Born 1971, Björn has worked as a professional musician since graduating from high-school in 1990. Spends his time recording with various artists, as well as playing with his own hobby projects. Björn enjoys watching movies at home, and he insists that Peter Criss is an underestimated drummer.
Born 1968. Jens can often be seen in different rock/pop/jazz/big-band musical groups displaying his natural gift as a passionate saxophone player. Jens has scored documentaries for Swedish television, and he can often be found touring with various plays in schools around Sweden and Norway. He´s most recent project is the band Ferguson where he plays his own material together with among others ... Bo.
Born 1960. Bosse claims to have had a hit in Japan with his former avant garde rock band MYRBEIN. The truth, however, is that he spent most of his time working as a music teacher and has played in almost every band that has come out of Östersund over the past ten years. He has had his finger in everything from punk rockers SHIT KIDS, to the fusion band FUNK OFF ! However, Bosse´s greatest musical passion is to play the accordion.
Born in 1971. Kjell-Erik founded his interest in folk music at early age in the village of Offerdal. This interest would eventually blossom into a full-time profession dedicated to the preservation of a narrowing folk music heritage. Kjell-Erik is also a member of Triakel, together with former Hoven-member Janne Strömstedt and Emma Härdelin, lead vocalist in Garmarna.
Born 1967. Pedro is working as a full-time musician playing with different bands, both local and nationwide. Right now his bluegrass band "The Blue Mountain Boys" is the no.1 project on his list (except Hoven Droven...), and his favourite listening includes Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley,The Johnson Mountain Boys, Del McCoury etc. When he is not playing or listening to music, he is probably hacking his Linux Box or practicing Falun Gong

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
